Hello everyone, my name is hayley i am 27 and weigh 21 stone (never said that out loud before ) i have been wondering around the site for days reading about all the different diets but jims sticky stuck ! and thats it im going to do the atkins
I have so much weight to lose and im just looking for support without the ridicule of going to a class to be weighed being the biggest person in the room ect, i have three children aged 7, 4 and 2 and im doing this for them so any help, tips or just friendly chat is very welcome here.
Thank you for reading my very first thread and i look forward to speaking to you all very soon

This is for life

Hello hayley, welcome
This is a great place if you want to change your diet and your life. Not only that - i've realised that i need to help my DD too (7) so she learns a healthier diet for the future
Good luck and keep talking to us and asking questions when you need support

Jan 2016 - start 85kg following christmas indulgences. Target 80kg
April 2016 - still 85kg so 3 weeks fat fast down to 81kg for mid May
June sitting at 80kg right on target
Autumn - sitting at 82kg but christmas might be a problem....!

Clean green leafy machine

Atkins is pretty adaptable - but even if you fall off the wagon, just climb back on. The weight didn't go on overnight and won't come off overnight - although it will come over much quicker, especially if you stick to clean and green meals, and have lots of water

BTW I found some Knorr liquid chicken stock in boiling water to help with the Atkins flu, no idea why
